Niki and Mckenna- (5)ICE BREAKERS

The Blanket Game - You will need:

A large, solid blanket or curtain.

Instructions:
Divide the children into two teams and get each team to sit on the floor on opposite sides of the
room. Two adults or children stretch the blanket between them to form a divider.
Now one team chooses one of their members to crawl up to the blanket and sit behind it, quietly. He
should face the other team. The adults drop the blanket and the other team races to identify and
shout out the child's name.
Variations:
Once the children get to know each other a little, the chosen child can sit cross legged facing away
from the other team, with his back to them. Alternatively he could sit facing them but be instructed to
make a funny face to distract them

Me-You- Me: It's a great way to get everyone to get to know everyone’s name, it's fun and
energetic and great to break the ice in the beginning and get everyone comfortable and relax to
get started. 4-5 min

Witneigh, Rebekah and Melissa- FOODS

(30-33 mins)Make butter in mason jars, shake jar to music.
Items needed:
Mason Jar 12: $7.36 (to make 15 jars, Rebekah’s Aunt donated 3 jars)
Heavy Whipping Cream ½ gallon: $6.92
Salt: I will provide
Total Cost: $14.28
Instructions: Homemade Butter in a Mason Jar
Lesson Plan:
Topic: Making Butter
March 10, 2018
Instructors: Melissa, Witneigh, Rebekah

Activity: Making butter: The students will have mason jars with lids. The instructors will pour in the
designated amount of heavy cream. The lids will be tightened after the cream is inside the jars. The
children will then follow the instructions and shake the jars for at least 12 minutes, or until their butter
has formed. *While they are shaking their jars there will be an explanation of how butter is formed. “
While shaking your jar of heavy whipping cream what you are doing is smashing the globules of fat into
each other, this causes damage to their walls causing the hydrophobic (water fearing) regions to clump
up. The cream will get thicker and thicker as they clump together, until eventually the water and the fat
completely separates and becomes butter.

Start time: Rotation 1-10:15 Rotation 2- 10:50

End time: Rotation 1- 10:45 Rotation 2- 11:20
Welcome and Introduction (5 minutes):
 To begin the class, both the instructors and the students will introduce
themselves.The activity will then be introduced, and explained.
Health and Safety (5 minutes):
At this time we will have the students gather in a circle, spacing each of them out to
make sure they are an arms length away from each other, to avoid any injury while
shaking the mason jars. The students will then be instructed on jar safety (hold tight to
jar, and what to do if the jar falls and breaks.) They will then each be handed their
mason jars.
Activity (15 minutes):
Making butter: The students will have mason jars with lids. The instructors will pour in
the designated amount of heavy cream. The lids will be tightened after the cream is
inside the jars. The children will then follow the instructions and shake the jars for at
least 12 minutes, or until their butter has formed. *Music will be playing while the children
are making butter.
Closure (5 minutes):
Trying their creation: The children will get to place their self-made butter onto a piece of
French bread so they can taste their creation.
The children will be asked how they like the taste of their butter. They will also be asked
what they thought about the activity and the process of making the butter themselves.

Lyndsay, Brianna - Rockets

Welcome and Introduction (5 minutes):
To begin this workshop instructors will introduce themselves. Because children will be in
the same groups throughout the day, they will not need to introduce themselves to each other
but will briefly introduce themselves to the instructors. Ask children these questions:
1. What is a scientist?
2. Who has ever done a science experiment on their own? What did you learn from it?
3. What is the difference between scientists and inventors?
Lesson (5 Minutes)
Teach children about Newton’s third law of motion. “Every action has an equal and
opposite reaction.” Explain how the words we say and the actions we do each and every day
has an impact on other people. It is important to make good decisions and to be kind.
Activity (15 minutes):
Instructors will give brief instructions on how assemble the rocket. After seeing the
prototype, children will gather their own materials from the materials assembly line. Each child
will receive an instruction sheet that they will then use to construct their own rocket. After their
first attempt, children can analyze their results and redo the experiment. By becoming their own
scientist children will get to see how changing variables can affect the outcome of an
experiment.
Closure (5 minutes)
After all of the experiments are done and cleaned instructors will ask children these
questions:
1. How did your rocket turn out when you you followed the instructions?
2. What did you change when you did it again? How did it affect the outcome of your
rocket?
 After asking these two questions instructors will summarize the lesson and answer any
questions.

Annie and Courtney

Welcome: 5 Min
Each child will introduce themselves to the instructor and the instructors will introduce
themselves to the children. Introduce what we will be talking about and how it can help them
when they get older. Ask them these questions:
 What can you buy with money? (examples: Candy, toys, etc.)
 Do you have a bank account or bank where you put your money?
 How do you earn money? ( allowance, chores, birthday money, babysitting)

Lesson: 10 min
Wants vs Needs - Explain the difference between a want and a need and how when
deciding to buy something, that is something that has to be taken into consideration.
 What is a want and a need?
Want: Something that is not necessary so it becomes more of a want rather than a necessity to
have.
Need: Something you have to have in order to fulfill basic needs in life.
 What do you spend your money on? Is it a want or a need?
 Have a sign for wants vs needs put on a poster then list of different items of wants and
needs that the children can decide which one it is.
 After having the children put on the differences of wants and needs, talk about why it is
important to decide between wants and needs when creating a budget.
 Knowing wants and needs helps us create a budget.
 The more you save is the more you have!

Budget: the children will be given a story and an example of a budget they can fill out
with the story. They will have money that they earned, and expenses they will have to account
for, and they have to figure out what they will do with their money.
 Describe the difference between income and expenses.
Income: money that is earned or gained.
Expenses: money that has to be spent to pay a bill, or pay for something you buy.
 Excel sheet of budget (example)
 Story of what they have with income and expenses
 Have them fill in their own budget
